Recreational Courses

All Recreational courses are taught by one or more of our instructors and available from your choice of agencies.

Intro to Diving

If you have never dived before this introductory dive lets you experience what only another diver knows… the “weightless” exhilaration of breathing underwater.

This “Introductory Dive” is also called “Discover Scuba Diving” or also be “Resort Diving”… but whatever it’s called it’s the dive that gives you the opportunity to scuba dive and experience the sensation without doing a full dive course.

What happens?

This introductory dive is a highly supervised, guided scuba dive under the direct supervision of a diving instructor… You’ll start with a 30-45 minute dry briefing on basic diving concepts and scuba skills, sometimes you’ll be shown a short video and asked to complete a quick quiz. This will be followed by a dive in a pool or a safe dive on a section of the reef. Your dive will only take you as deep as 12 metres (40 feet) and your diving group will be limited to 4 or less. Generally your dive will last approximately 30 minutes, and during that time the instructor will be with you at all times… and if you want, will even hold your hand. Because most marine life is found in the shallower reef waters and coral colour is most vivid closer to the surface you will experience the reef at its best… you might even become addicted, and go on to do an ‘Open Water Diver’ certification course later

Prerequisites:
-You must be able to swim.
-No diving experience needed.
-Minimum age required:10 years old.
-You must answer a medical questionaire.

Prerequisites:
-You must be a certified diver.
-No diving experience needed.You must provide proof of cerification

SCUBA DIVING, ANYONE?? If you are already a certified SCUBA diver and would like to expand your knowledge through a complete program designed to provide Sport Divers with a safer breathing medium for enjoying dives in the 40 to 130 feet of salt water (fsw) depth ranges and increase your bottom time. Enriched Air Nitrox course (better known as NITROX) will be offered for those interested, with two Open Water dives.

PREREQUISITES:
1. Must be a qualified Open Water Diver.
2. Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with a parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 12 years of age for Junior Diver Qualification, or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.
3. Student must be able to have proof of OWD or higher level certification.

PROGRAM CONTENT:
1. Administrative Section and Complete lectures from the instructor presentation slides (Physiological Aspects of EANx Diving, Physics of EANx Diving, Tables for EANx Diving, Operational Aspects, Dive Planning with EANx, Analyzing your gas mix, etc).
2. Program covers all EANx mixes from 21% to 40% oxygen, emphasizing the use of EAN 32 and EAN 36.
3. It is recommended that all divers perform two dives on an EANx mixture of between 24% and 40% oxygen.

PROGRAM LIMITS:
1. No dives may be conducted to depths greater than the student’s previous qualification, or a maximum of 130 fsw.
2. No dives having a mandatory decompression stop may be made.
3. Appropriate safety decompression stops (3 min.) must be performed.

Deep Diver

This program is designed to provide responsible training to divers who plan to dive to a maximum of 130 fsw on air. This course is recommended to be taken in conjunction with EANx, Recreational Trimix Diver Program or Advance Nitrox.

Prerequisites
Recommended: DAN MASTER INSURANCE
1. Must be a qualified Advanced Open Water Diver.
2. Must be a minimum of 15 years of age with parent or guardian authorization, or a minimum of 12 years of age for Junior Diver Qualification. or a minimum of 18 years of age without guardian approval.

-100 minutes bottom time required in 4 dives. 2 of which must be between 100 and 130 feet.

Advanced Nitrox Diver

This program is designed to expand the divers knowledge in the use of Nitrox and instructs divers to maximize their bottom time with limited decompression. Advanced nitrox diving provides access to Nitrox mixes from 21% oxygen to 50% oxygen for decompression. The use of multiple mixes of gas in a single dive provides access to safer diving profiles in an extended range of operation. Advanced Nitrox training is designed to inform the diver about the use of higher fractions of O2 and multiple mixes of Enriched air nitrox, and provides an introduction to technical diving.

The course introduces the student to equipment and skills which will be built upon in the technical diver courses. Participants will further refine those skills learned previously. Aimed towards the experienced diver who wishes to take full advantage of nitrox without technical diving exposures.Lectures outline the safe use and management of multiple gas mixes, 50% O2 management and procedures, decompression strategies, as well as equipment and related skills. Technical diving basics and equipment requirements are taught in this course. This course forms a foundation for safe decompression diving, as well as a platform for continuing education into more advanced practices and technical diving.

Advanced Nitrox is often taken in conjunction with:
-Deep Diver
-Advanced Recreational Trimix

Prerequisites
1. Must be a qualified Advanced Open Water diver.
2. Must have at least 30 logged dives.
3. Learning oriented attitude required!
